Join editors and colleagues Lana Shklyar Nenide, MS, and Kate Sweeney, MSW, for an engaging conversation exploring the book’s key concepts and practical applications. Infant Mental Health (IMH) and the Pyramid Model (PM) are two powerful frameworks united by a common goal: supporting the mental health and social-emotional well-being of infants, young children, and their families. This groundbreaking book integrates both approaches to strengthen and equip the early childhood workforce to be more effective, responsive, and informed. Learn about best practices, ask your questions, and celebrate this important contribution—created with input from numerous professionals across the Alliance network. We're so excited to have this valuable resource available to the infant and early childhood field! (fb)

Today is National Children’s Mental Health Awareness Day, and at the Alliance for the Advancement of Infant Mental Health, we are proudly lifting up the voices and needs of babies, toddlers, and young children. 💚 Mental health begins at birth. That’s why we advocate for strong, supported relationships and a well-trained workforce that can respond to the unique emotional needs of our youngest community members and their families. On this important day, we celebrate the dedication of infant and early childhood mental health professionals across the globe—and recommit to building systems where every child has the chance to thrive.
